As I wrote it above, if you are absolutely sure that you won't play games and also if you are short on money, the i3-3220 would also do just fine for browsing the internet and watching movies, but I think the extra $20 is worth it for i3-3225 to make the build a little more future proof. The HD4000 in the 3225 is a lot faster then the HD2500 in the 3220, you know, some extra performance never hurts

Your choice

edit: it must be noted that 7200RPM drives are far from silent. I don't know how much do you know about computers, but this won't be dead silent in the bedroom for sure

Usually the problem is you have to have FFDShow installed and then select the DD HD, DTS HD audio option. I just install CCCP codex pack and its in there. Ive twisted my mind a few times figuring it out

With my system I installed a 6670 GPU just to get it a little more snappy. But really it worked fine with the i3 550 HD2000 playing 30Gb BR files bit stream threw my Yamaha AVR
